Chinese medicine: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 159: The long-idle hands are finally opened (Subscription required)
"Little Stone, do you feel like your hands are free?"

When Chen Yu came back with the meal, she took off her apron while watching Zhou Yanqing handing out chopsticks.

"I've heard people say that very experienced surgeons complain about being tired when they're working, but once they haven't performed surgery for a while, they start to feel itchy."

"It's like I'm addicted to it." After taking off her apron, Chen Yu went to wash her hands.

Zhou Yanqing thought for a moment and replied: "You know what, sometimes I really feel this way."

"This time when I went home, apart from washing a few cabbages, I didn't do any other housework at all."

"Oh, no, I also emptied the fruit trash can on the coffee table."

During the Chinese New Year, almost every household has free access to melon seeds and peanuts, and those who can afford it a little bit have no shortage of fruits.

During the first few days of the first lunar month, the meals were too greasy, so I had to rely on this snack to fill my stomach.

"Perhaps it is because of your personality that your surgical skills are so advanced."

Chen Yu wiped her hands and walked out, straightening the hem of her pajamas: "After you performed surgery on my uncle last time, my dad specially invited a professional doctor friend to talk about you."

"He is an associate chief physician at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Hengda University. Although he is not an orthopedic surgeon, my whole family was very angry when I heard that you were the one who performed the surgery on my uncle."

"However, after listening carefully to your negotiation with the superiors of the First Surgery Department of Hengda Affiliated Hospital, I became dumbfounded."

"He was a little bit unconvinced until we mentioned the names of the directors of Hengda First Affiliated High School. After he checked online, he summed it up in one sentence." Chen Yu deliberately kept the audience in suspense.

Before Chen Yu started eating, Zhou Yanqing picked up some meat and vegetables for him.

While smiling, he asked, "What did you summarize?"

"You are one in a million. You will definitely have a place at the professorship of Xiangya Hospital in the future."

"After hearing this, my dad almost sold me out on the spot." Chen Yu said this with some anger.

Zhou Yanqing thought about it seriously and said, "You told me this, so you are not afraid that I will bully you in the future, such as not giving you a betrothal gift or giving you too little betrothal gift."

Chen Yu said directly: "My parents didn't plan to ask for a dowry in the first place. If they gave it to me, they would just save it for me anyway."

"If you don't give it to me, he will give me some, and tell others that it was you who gave it..."

Chen Yu was so innocent and cute at this moment, and he really said everything that should and shouldn't be said.

Zhou Yanqing didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Chen Yu then gave Zhou Yanqing some basic knowledge about professors. In fact, this knowledge was a blind spot in Zhou Yanqing's vision.

Professors are also divided into different grades, and their remuneration can be compared with that of civil servants.

The first level is the deputy minister, the second level is the deputy minister, the third level is the director general, and so on.

Therefore, even though Chen Yu's family is a "little bully" family structure in Hengnan County, if Zhou Yanqing can climb to this level, his connections and resources are incomparable to theirs.

After dinner, Zhou Yanqing took the initiative to take on the task of washing the dishes. After that, the two went out for a walk for a few kilometers.

After that, Zhou Yanqing sent Chen Yu downstairs of the community, and then the two said goodbye.

Chen Yu looked at Zhou Yanqing with a little reluctance, but was too embarrassed to continue asking him to stay. Zhou Yanqing was concerned about the elective surgery that was about to start tomorrow.

Zhou Yanqing also had to go back to the department to review the medical record writing and quality of the attending physician, so he did not stay any longer.

After leaving, Zhou Yanqing rushed to the department again as soon as possible.

It has to be admitted that those who can come to Xiangya Hospital for regular training and master's studies have good basic skills and self-discipline.

As long as they put their heart into it, they can write good medical records.

At least, Zhou Yanqing did not find any mistakes, although the wording used in some places may not be appropriate.

But medical records are not literature. As long as the language is concise and everything that needs to be recorded is recorded, it can be a medical record of standard quality.

Zhou Yanqing stopped working on the details.

After finding a few relatively obvious errors and sending them privately to the attending physicians for correction tomorrow, Zhou Yanqing began to plan tomorrow's three elective surgeries.

This is the first surgery day after the Spring Festival. Zhou Yanqing's hands, which have been "abandoned" for nearly ten days, will be reopened.

The next day.

Professor Tan Zhongyu didn't say any nonsense during the morning handover, and he finished his rounds quickly.

There were no teaching rounds, no verbosity, and every sentence went straight to the key point.

After finishing the ward rounds, he handed the attending doctors over to Ning Zhu and led the team out of the operating room.

Zhou Yanqing, Liu Wanqing and Yu Yue had done enough preoperative preparation. Then Associate Professors Tan Zhongyu and Huang Xianming went on stage one after another, and there were already five people on the operating table.

Tan Zhongyu had no intention of waiting for the attending physician to come on stage.

This was just a skin flap transplant for soft tissue defect, and Ning Zhu and his team were able to carry it out completely.

However, Professor Tan Zhongyu still did it himself, and pushed the operation straight to the step of flap suturing in one breath, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Xianming, do you want to sew or should I do it?" Tan Zhongyu asked Huang Xianming.

Huang Xianming was already eager to try: "Teacher Tan, you should go and have a rest first. I can still handle this little thing."

"Then you sew it..." Professor Tan Zhongyu shrugged his shoulders, making a clicking sound.

After stepping down from the operating table and taking off his sterile surgical gown, he moved his shoulder and elbow joints again and said with emotion: "You know what, I haven't performed surgery for a long time. I feel stiff and uncomfortable all over."

"I've only done half of the show, and now I feel like I'm alive again."

After saying that, Tan Zhongyu walked to the operating table again, looking at the results of his operation. Then he saw Zhou Yanqing had already picked up the needle and suture to suture the flap opening.

"The quality is also good, and our team's sense of cooperation is also excellent."

"This operation was successful. It means our team will have a good start this year. Let's try to handle a few cases of peripheral nerve injury this year." Tan Zhongyu hinted at something.

Upon hearing this, Associate Professor Huang Xianming, Senior Brother Liu Wanqing and others all looked in the direction of Zhou Yanqing.

Everyone in the department knows that the treatment of peripheral nerve injury is currently a type of disease with very high barriers in the hand surgery profession.

Currently, there are only a handful of hospitals that can maturely treat this type of disease.

It’s not that doctors in other hospitals are unwilling to study and further their studies, but the threshold is very high and requires a very strong foundation to be able to learn it.

And the learning process is also very long.

Many professors feel that it is not worth it for them to spend four or five years to get started, so most of them let associate professors learn.

However, the associate professor’s accumulation is not enough and it will take longer to ferment.

For example, Professor Huang Xianming once went to Jishuitan Hospital for further studies, but he still does not perform this procedure routinely in the hospital.

Is it Associate Professor Huang Xianming who doesn’t want to?

of course not!

Many people hope to be the first to succeed in the treatment of peripheral nerve injuries, but this kind of success is not as simple as having a relationship for an hour or two.

"Don't look at it, don't put pressure on it, and don't envy or be jealous."

"Yanqing has such accumulated qualifications and background, if he can do it, then he can do it, if not, then give him more time." Tan Zhongyu said lightly, while touching his back pocket. He found that he was in a hurry to go to the operating room and didn't even bring a cigarette box.

But it doesn't matter, Tan Zhongyu has his own special wardrobe, which contains his "rations", and he can go down and get them at any time.

Professor Tan Zhongyu occasionally supplemented these "rations" himself, and sometimes other "friends" also supplemented them.

After Professor Tan Zhongyu left, Huang Xianming still did not continue to sew, but said incredulously: "Yanqing, Professor Tan is kidding, right?"

Huang Xianming has actually systematically studied surgical treatment of peripheral nerve injuries, which was a six-month course.

Zhou Yanqing was only out for a few days!

It has been more than two years since Huang Xianming returned from further studies.

Zhou Yanqing had only been back for less than a month.

Is it necessary to have such a big gap? Is it necessary to crush them like this?

Everyone has self-esteem.

Zhou Yanqing looked up when he heard this, and said calmly: "Teacher Huang, I can't answer whether it's a joke or not for now, maybe there will be a chance."

Zhou Yanqing was neither proud nor particularly humble, nor did he have any ridicule or other emotions. He was just stating a fact.

This is to inform your team of your own strength.

The oral confession was just a hint, because Zhou Yanqing did not have such mature ability, but it might not be certain in a few months.

Now Tan Zhongyu is giving Zhou Yanqing the preliminary 'reserve' procedure for peripheral nerve injury surgery.

In other words, Zhou Yanqing would only start the first surgical treatment tentatively after he was very proficient in many of the preliminary surgeries for peripheral nerve treatment.

Zhou Yanqing still has a lot to learn and accumulate, but it can only be said that this day is not too far away.

Huang Xianming grinned and said with emotion: "Yanqing, if you do this, Professor Tang from the Second Hospital will be awakened at night."

"I don't think he'll have much hair left."

Professor Tang from the Second Hospital is the administrative director of the Hand Surgery Department of Xiangya Second Hospital.

The Hand Surgery Department of Xiangya Hospital is unable to maturely treat peripheral nerves, and the same is true for the Second Hospital. Both are accumulating experience.

If Professor Tan Zhongyu had made a breakthrough, Professor Tang would at most just curse at Tan Zhongyu for being so fast.

But if a later scholar like Zhou Yanqing rushed up first, Professor Tang would really not be able to sleep.

Because Tan Zhongyu is so powerful, he can suppress the Second Hospital for a maximum of ten years. After ten years, Professor Tan Zhongyu's physical skills will have deteriorated and will not be able to be passed on, so the Second Hospital can still overtake.

How young is Zhou Yanqing?

The kind of young person who makes everyone despair.

It’s just like Huang Xianming now knows that he should never think of suppressing the young man Zhou Yanqing, because it will never be possible.

My own growth curve has entered a plateau period, while Zhou Yanqing's growth curve may have just begun.

The progress of medical students only begins in the decade between the ages of 30 and 40.

Decades after Zhou Yanqing led the team to suppress the Second Hospital, it would be impossible to catch up with them by then.

Although the Second Hospital and Xiangya Hospital are "brother" hospitals, the secret competition between the two never stops.

"Teacher Huang, that's an exaggeration."

"In Teacher Tang's eyes, I am just a pretty good student at best." Zhou Yanqing smiled back.

Huang Xianming said: "Yes, that's why he doubted life even more after he knew the result."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's do the surgery quickly. Let's have a go before the others come on stage."

"Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to snatch the operation opportunity from students and junior fellow students in the next machine."

Huang Xianming gave Zhou Yanqing instructions.

People need to be humble.

If Huang Xianming and Zhou Yanqing do this simple stitching themselves, what is the point of others learning from them?
An operation can be ended at any time without the participation of resident doctors, but an operation cannot proceed without Zhou Yanqing or Tan Zhongyu or Huang Xianming.

Zhou Yanqing nodded quickly and started to operate quickly.

Zhou Yanqing's suturing speed was obviously faster than Huang Xianming's. After suturing the incision at the flap extraction site, Zhou Yanqing stared at the flap site where Huang Xianming's skin flap was sutured less than halfway.

After Huang Xianming noticed Zhou Yanqing's gaze, he turned his butt backwards and pressed directly against Zhou Yanqing.

Zhou Yanqing knew that Huang Xianming also wanted to have some fun.

Anyone who could enter Xiangya Hospital and reach Huang Xianming's position, must be someone who loves learning and surgery, right?

Without interest, it would be difficult to reach Huang Xianming's level.

"Teacher Huang, I'll leave the stage first..." Zhou Yanqing said.

"Yeah." Huang Xianming didn't even look in Zhou Yanqing's direction.

Zhou Yanqing began the process of stepping down.

After Zhou Yanqing left, Huang Xianming asked Liu Wanqing, "Do you know why I didn't let Yanqing get involved in the suture work?"

Liu Wanqing quickly laughed and said, "Brother Ming, it was Yanqing who was ignorant. He didn't realize that you, Brother Ming, also wanted to have fun."

"I'll teach him later."

When Liu Wanqing came to Xiangya Hospital to study, Huang Xianming was still a junior attending physician. At that time, Liu Wanqing called Huang Xianming "Brother Ming".

Now he has been promoted to associate professor, but their relationship and age difference have not changed, and he continues to address me as Brother Ming until now.

Huang Xianming heard this, shook his head and stretched his neck: "Actually, that's for you."

"As for Yan Qing, I couldn't let him go on stage because I didn't want to be in the control group."

"Otherwise, if half of the stitches look good and the other half don't, the patient will be dissatisfied."

"In order to avoid potential medical disputes, your brother Ming has put a lot of thought into it."

Huang Xianming said in a more tactful and joking tone that it was because of Liu Wanqing and Yu Yuecai.

Zhou Yanqing is here, and the person who performs the highest quality surgeries is Zhou Yanqing.

But Zhou Yanqing is not here, you are all garbage!
Moreover, Huang Xianming is still feeling smug at this moment. You will never guess which "fei" I used, right?
Entertaining yourself is also a way to regulate your psychology.

If you don’t know how to do this when facing a contestant like Zhou Yanqing, you will become somewhat introverted.

Liu Wanqing was more willing to respond: "Brother Ming, isn't this just right? Without us, how can you show how outstanding you are, Brother Ming?"

Liu Wanqing also wanted to do something, so he could only hope that Huang Xianming would give him a chance so that he could satisfy his desire first.

Huang Xianming was pleased with Liu Wanqing's words and immediately gave way.

"Come on, control group?" Huang Xianming laughed.
